I’ve used this for years and still love it.

Keeps my brows in place all day without making them crunchy. The packaging is tiny (that’s the normal size), which makes it so easy to carry around and it is ideal to take on trips.

I love using 65 Seductress with 70 Amazonian! The 65 is a bit lighter, so I apply it in the center of my lips and 70 on the outer edges. It gives that plump, gradient look that lasts literally all day.
